The third target attacked was the FJP headquarters in 6October city, where four armed assailants threw Molotov Cocktails at the building, reported state-owned Al-Ahram.

Sobie said: “They were a group of people swearing and cursing at the Brotherhood and the FJP, chanting phrases such as; ‘the revolution persists’.” He continued: “I am positive the true revolutionaries who accompanied us in Tahrir Square two years ago would never do such a thing.”

Those working in the targeted facilities would file police complaints, Sobie said. “Especially in the case of attacking Ikhwan Online’s headquarters, a true crime has taken place,” he said.

Attacks on FJP headquarters nationwide began in late November 2012, coinciding with clashes between protesters and police forces in Tahrir Square following President Mohamed Morsy’s constitutional declaration that was seen as a power grab by many. Attacks peaked in early December, when the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Al-Moqattam was attacked following clashes between pro- and anti-Morsy demonstrators near the Presidential Palace.
